MAN CITY 2, WEST HAM 1
Manchester City’s form has dipped, but they keep on winning as they stumbled past struggling West Ham at the Etihad.
In the past week City’s displays against Huddersfield, Southampton and West Ham have failed to hit the dizzy heights of early season.
What would ordinarily have been three comfortable wins turned out to be three nail-biters with victory only secured through late goals.

ARSENAL 1, MANCHESTER UNITED 3

MAN CITY 2, SOUTHAMPTON 1
Titles are won and lost on moments like this as Raheem Sterling’s 95th minute goal gave Premier League leaders Manchester City a massive three points at home to Southampton.
And Pep Guardiola’s joyous and almost uncontrollable celebrations, in which he sprinted on to the field, revealed precisely what it meant to City’s manager as his side ground out a valuable victory.
The late goals by Sterling against Huddersfield on Sunday and Saints see City preserve an eight-point lead at the top whereas it could conceivably had been four but for his priceless strikes in both matches.
